The Russian Wolf

Although the wolf has long been an
extinct animal In the United States, 1t
Is far from being 40 in European Rus
sia, where the value Of domestic anil
mails annually destroyed by wolves has
been set down as not less than go 800. ;
600. In the statistical report lately
addressed to the Minister Of the Inte-
rior, the frontier government of Samara
suffered most, the damage being esti-
mated at 650,O00 roubles; Vologda
came next. being 580, 900 roubles. The
Polish and Baltic provinces and the
Archangel suffered least. In an,esti-
mate like the above no account can, 8of
course, be taken of the number OF wild
animals destroyed by them, or the loss
of human life. The police reported l61
persons killed by wolves In 1876. Il, 1t la
fortunate for the traveller that the WOLF,
Is one of the most Suspicious animals In,
existence In connection with anyOb
ject with which its nose or ears ere

earth with some; fnttering piece Sc
linen tied to 1t Is often snfficient to
preserve the carcass Of a slain buffalo
or deer for the hunter. When a Sibe-
rian finds his sleigh pursued by wolves
he very frequently fastens a coat or
some spare garment to piece of string
and tows 1t behind. So suspicious are
the wolves Of this novel object that
this is often sufficient to keep them
from advancing ahead. When trapped
the sensation Of confinement seems to
deprive this ravenous animal of It's ma
tive vigor and energy; and 1t has been
known passlyely to allow itself to be
dragged from the trap to meet It's fate.

IN Japan Of there being 70 official stan
dard for medicines. The chemists OBJ
tain their drugs from America, Eng
land, France and Germany, and, "a the
preparations vary considerably In
strength. all kinds Of confusion arose.
The new Pharmacop@ia was under
taken some twelve years ago, and in
1880 commission was appointed by
the Government to carry out the
work. This commission has held 1855
sittings. 1t was found advisable to
write the text Of tho Pharmaoopeie
originally in German, that being the
language most generally understood by
the members Of the committee. The
official text Ia, however, Japanese, and
there is also Latin translation. The
number Of preparations is 475, which
are named first In Japanese and then
In Latin. The general character of
the work Is similar to that Of the En-.

so much bowing and hatlifting that

slowly than in England to give time to

The Pinsk Marshes.

There Is in Russia district as largo
as IRELAND. known by the above title,
and wholly impossible from the size
and number OF It's morasses, In addi-
tlon to whlch 1t is covered with an
impenetrable forest of underground and
tangled jungle, and consequently was
utterly useless. TO make this vast
extent OF land available for the pur-
poses Of pasturage and agriculture, all
that was required, apparently. was a
thorough system Of draining and clear
ing, as the, land itself, as land, was
found good for the proposed purposes.
Accordingly, the Russian Government
has gone to work with q will, and Is
now. and has been for some time past,
energetically engaged In both these
useful and important operations, and
the WORK has been crowned with mar
ked success. at present, 1000. 900 Of
acres have been reclaimed; and during
next year 1t is proposed that 100000
more shall be taken in hand by means
Of 120 miles Of canals and dikes. It is
further reported that upward OF 6OO,-
oO0 acres Of once useless bog are now
good meadow land, whilst 1900, 900
acres Of tmpenetrab.e jungle have been
brought into cultivation. In addition
to all this, the engineers have built
179 bridges. sunk SIT wells and sur
veyed and mapped 10000 square miles
of land. If such g scheme as this can
be 80 successfully carried out by Rus
sia, why should not some such plan be
tried In IrelandP a scientific contemp-
orary. referring to this question, says:
"The amount Of bog in Ireland would,
OF course, be child's play to the Plnsk
marshes, for somehow we are always
confronted with bog as the chief source
OF Irish difficulties. If Its annihilation
Will pay 80 well in Russia. it ought to
dOso equally In ireland, nor should
we forget that an undertaking Of such
magnitude would bring immediate and
constant work from the very outset to

: THE MYSTERIES OF onAREr.
What Becomes Of tho Vintage in
Catalonia and Andalusia.

The complaints of Spaniards that W.
will not drink their wine seem to be
open to a curious reply. There is rea-
son to believe that q good deal OF span
ish wine comes to England by way Of
France; that we, drink 1t as French
wine, and, Of course, pay ingenious
Frenchmen profit on the transaction.
In report Of the United States Consul
In Catalonia he says that Of the wine
produced In that, the chief wine-grow-
ing district Of the peninsula. one. fourth
Is consumed in the country, and three-
fourths are exported to France and
South America, with small lots to
Russia. the United States and Cuba.
Our counsel at Cadiz, Mr.. Joel, In q
report on last years vintage at Anda-
lusia. says that In the district of Jerex
de la Frontera, which produces the
finest qualities Of sherry. the yield is an
average one of about 1900 900 gallons.
Up to tho present time the demand for
the French market has been limited,
but large orders are expected. In the
San Lucar district, which produces
Manzanilla, the yield has been about
three million gallons: and "a large
quantity Of sweet wine has been made
Of the new juice, blended with German
spirits. and Of this about 150, 900 gallons
have already been exported to Bordeaux
and Cette.' But the largest produce
Is that of the inferior white wine of the
Huelva district, which amounted to
5000. 900 gallons In 1885. and was more
last year. This wine commands ready
sale to French houses who send repre-
sentatives to buy it up In advance. 1t
'is shipped to Bordeaux, Cette, Nantes
and Havre. A relatively unimportant
quantity goes to Hamburg. It ia, of
course, possible that Frenchmen may
prefer these Spanish wines to their
own; bat the probability seems to be
that they swell the export as French
wines, and that we are thus customers
Of Spain without knowing 1t.

SWORDS AND BAYoNErs.
Testing These Weapons i'm Gerinany--
An Exhaust ing Process. I

The following informatlon respecting
the manufacture and testing Of the
weapons supplied to the German army
reaches me from high authority. Az
q general rule all the army swords,
sabres, and bayonets are made In gov
ernment factories. When, however,
large numbers are required Iii a hurry,
contracts are entered Into with great
manufacturers at Solingen and else
where. In these cases special proyis.
ioniis made In each contract, enabling
government experts and scientific OH
GERS to enter the factories at all times
!; In order to report upon the quality of
the material and Workmanship en-.
ployed In carrying out the government
orders. Every weapon, whether manu-
featured by State Of private industry, ia
tested before 1t receives the government
stamp, which is only intrnsted to army
officers. each one Of whom is held per-
sonally responsible for the proper test
Ing of the weapons impressed by his
stamp. With respect toswolds and sa-
bers the testing process Is the following:
The blades are brought In unmountedj
examined for length and thickness,
then bent according to certain fixed
rnies; two heavy right and left cuts
are then stuck alta wooden block with
the edge, and two blows with the fat
Of each blade. Having passed these
tests, the blades are stamped and laid
aside to be mounted and finished.
When mounted they are again tested
for solidity of connection between blade
and hilt. The testing Of bayonets Is
equally severe and exhaustive. No
inferior material OF defective work.
manship escapes the cognizance Of the
inspecting officers. who are specially
chosen by the ministry of war for their
xnowledge Of all the physical and tech
nical details connected with the mater
ial and fabrication of steel weapons.
The rejected blades aud bayonets are
